For me poetry is like a bird. / A free bird that knows no bounds.
Each day I wake up wondering if it's me who has lost you, or it's you who lost me. Every night before my head hits the bed, I think about you. I try to conjure you up in my sleep but you, Muse, just like my dreams, steer clear away from me. I keep wishing for you to knock at my door to shake me up from my reverie. Break my flow, Hypnotize, And overwhelm me! I know I've treated you like a ***** before, everytime you came unannounced, I sent you back; kicking and screaming like a Banshee. And now; With a cheap wine stain, A woman in rage, Working on a menial wage Drinking until her kidneys scream out in pain -I pass out, just like the last night and the night before. You've left me in this reality all alone, Without any words to hide behind. Without any form of refuge To keep me safe under this scrutinizing light. I have a hurricane kept bottled inside and with each beat of my heart, I can feel the cage tremor. But you, like a narcissist; keep on laughing at my misery. You really enjoy this game: where you tug at my heart as I try to resist your influence within my brain. I often wonder if there are any clues that you've left behind, because after all it was your mystery that had seduced my pride. Each time I lift up the pen, my spine shivers with anticipation for you to takeover and consume my mind until every word that I scribble, bleeds with truth about the lies that you cook to keep me on your side. I wish to carve you out of my own soul but right now it feels so hollow and cold. I need you to set me free, Keep me up all night and let me bleed; Like a fresh wound that refuses to heal. Until all these thoughts in my head finally find peace.

She walked into the church Cradling the dead In her arms. It was eerily quiet As she sang a lullaby, Her porcelain skin Was smeared with ashes. Her voice sounded like a battlecry Standing in a red gown Facing the crowd. As she lifted her veil You could see, That she was a goddess Who was sober And still intoxicating Her beauty was lethal Her sharp tongue Could pierce your soul Her lips were ****** And her eyes were numb She held a scythe in one hand And in the other She carried a newborn She was death in disguise Resembling a flower With hollow eyes.

The Reaper
Oh Darling, you were just a delicate droplet of water While he was someone lusting to drown in the sea. He didn't know that you were the beginning of the tempestuous calamity. He craved the danger and assumed that you just provided serenity, He wished to conquer the ocean and witness the end. But he failed to understand that your existence is something no man can transcend.

Who would've thought that love can bind you and tear you down all at the same time.

The verdict
What if I tell you that all his words were based on a lie, and you were just a silly little girl who was prolonging an inevitable goodbye.

Lies
I'm a writer, But what if I tell you that I'm losing my identity? It's been a few months and I feel that I'm slowly losing my ability to write. I always considered myself a poet. But now, I feel like a dictionary with thousands of blank pages. With no definition and no sense of reason. And I'm scared. How will you ever love me now? You fell in love with me because of my words, didn't you? They always stirred some sort of emotion within you. Something that you tried so hard to hide. But whenever you read the poems that I wrote, your armor cracked. What if I tell you that writing had slowly turned into a burden? Baggage that has now become too heavy for me to carry all alone. I realized a while back, how I pushed myself to write just to connect with you. To let you know how I'm suffering. I expressed all my agony through those words. I wrote about how, all those words, that had once been a blessing now seem like punishment. You called that mad rambling of words, 'Beautiful.' You were too blind to see how this pain was consuming me. So, once again I forced myself to down the poison that you thought, tasted like an age-old wine. Darlin, the words have abandoned me, and now so did you.

I'm a writer;
There's a sorrow in my soul That I wish to share But it's hiding behind its own curtain of despair. I was up all night Wondering what sadness tastes like; Smooth as honey with a pinch of spice, As it drips down the throat, And settles like acid Burning the intestines. He told me what regret looks like: Heartache and gut-wrenching cries. I knew, it's misery that resides in his eyes; Crouching in the corner Ready to pounce, Biting into the neck, As the blood spills out Scraping old wounds, Blurry sight. A closet full of skeletons, With penance on the mind. Loss smells a lot like Christmas. Family gathering around Sharing memories of a lifetime. Photographs from 1989, Same old letters Scattered around the desk. People talk about what could be Heaven and Earth, And everything in between. Deceit sounds a lot like a dream You get out of one, And fall into another as you sleep. Shards of glass Ripping through the spine As shame builds up a shrine. Desperation feels a lot like home You float in the air, As you cling onto hope. Somedays are better; Somedays are worse But what remains Is a lesson that has been left unheard.

Forlorn Hope
I won't let them hurt you, Even when we are nearing towards our end Remember, You have the blood of the wolves coursing through your veins You were born to be beautiful and wild You have the power to massacre an entire village, Yet, I know you'll choose to be kind For you have a heart that can't see someone cry You'll be dauntless and free throughout But dare they restrict your freedom, Dare they tame your wild, Dare they point at you with the sharp end of the knife Never forget that you're a hound in a sheep's disguise Rip out their throats if they force you to fight Unleash your power, And revel in who you really are Let them know that you bow to no one Let their fear be your strength You were born to be the predator Stop being treated like a prey Howl until they finally set you free Be glorious; you are a warrior And thats what you were destined to be.

Unbreakable
Only my heart knows how much I yearn for you to return, Even at the cost of you leaving me all over again.

Come back when you can
She smelled of love letters and spilled ink, Wrote down the words of wisdom, As she sipped on her caffeinated drink, She lived in the world that resided in her head, Didn't find salvation in money or fame, But in the library instead, She looked beautifully surreal in pink, As the sun rose during the early morning of spring To kiss the daisies that grew near the brink, She bore prophecies within her eyes, One couldn't challenge their veracity, For it would be like questioning the vastness of the skies, People always thought she didn't fit in, Just because she found peace within the books, And the words had built a home under her skin.
